i used to bowl on a league, but i sucked. my highest average was like a 140. one time i had 5 or 6 strikes in a row and still didn't hit 200 :lol:

I think my best is 180, but I don't spin it or any of that tricky nonsense.

im not too shabby with spares...except if its split or scattered.

My personal best: 164
My Fiance's best: 165

Had a 110 in the 5th frame once just to blow it and end up in the 150's.

My personal best is a 265. I love to bowl, but I have not been in a long time. I took bowling twice when I was in college.

Quote:

Roth was well known for his high powered "cranker" style that has been copied by many bowlers since. Despite the power he generated, Roth was also one of the best spare shooters of all time, as he is notable for being the first bowler to pick up the 7-10 Split on television, on 5 January 1980

* Four-time PBA Player of the Year (1977, 1978, 1979 and 1984)
* Six-time winner of the PBA High Average award
* Still holds PBA record of 8 titles in a single season (1978)
* Inducted into PBA Hall of Fame, 1987
* Inducted into International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, 1992

Roth makes a brief appearance in the bowling movie Kingpin, along with several other professional bowlers

So I went bowling last night.
